Prejudice Plus Power, The Missing Ingredient

Black people can be prejudiced, and they can be bigoted, but they can’t be racist. The missing part is power. Their power does not affect white people. But white people’s power can control black people.

Black people can’t stop white people from getting jobs, loans, or apartments. Black people can’t affect the white community as a whole.

When white people walk out of their houses, they don’t have to worry about racism. They can walk around leisurely.

All while school boards, groups like Moms for Liberty, and others want to believe there’s no more racism. They are shutting down black authors and black books, and black history. They categorize it all under Critical Race Theory (CRT), which is not true at all.

We, the people, will teach our children. We, the people, will teach ALL of history.
